Chapter 12: The Unrighteous

Since its establishment, the Yunnan University for Nationalities has provided a large number of talents for the ethnic minorities in southern Yunnan, especially graduates majoring in ethnology and psychology, and many of them have taken up important positions in the army and the police force, and have made very outstanding contributions in handling ethnic contradictions and cracking down on ethnic minority crimes. Jia Xiong is from this famous college, as a specially recruited soldier, he is completely different from the second general Humm, and the introverted and deep of the scholar is vividly reflected in him.

"Meng Feng is your fellow countryman?" Jia Xiong asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, we are from the same township, we met on the train a few days ago, and I don't know much about him," I replied truthfully.

"He's been a little weird lately, I suspect he's having some difficulties, you're fellow countrymen, and the communication barrier is smaller."

I don't agree with Jia Xiong's idea, judging from the process of my contact with Meng Feng, Meng Feng is not the kind of person who is good at hiding his emotions, although it looks a little melancholy on the surface, but it is quite talkative, at the beginning of my acquaintance with him, he was able to share his emotional experience with his girlfriend with me, which in the eyes of many people, is an extremely ** thing. If he is really in trouble, whether it is Jia Xiong or a third person he doesn't know, he is willing to tell. But as a fellow countryman, I really need to enlighten this fellow countryman, even though we are hostile competitors at this moment, how much of a sense of accomplishment can be even if we win an unfair competition.

There is an open space behind the canteen of the recruit camp, which is a place for recruits to dry their clothes, few people usually come here, after dinner, Meng Feng and I found a corner against the wall here to sit down, he naturally lit a cigarette, and threw one to me, it is the Yellow Crane Tower in my hometown, there are few such cigarettes to buy here, after all, the name of Yunyan is not worse than the Yellow Crane Tower, many recruits are not real smokers, and they do not pay much attention to the taste of tobacco leaves, plus the recruit company is strictly disciplined, it is good to be able to buy cigarettes, and they will not care about the brand of cigarettes。 I hold it in my hand but don't light it, just to get a taste of home. For someone like me, who isn't even a pseudo-smoker, igniting is a waste.

"Homesick?" Looking at Meng Feng's sad face, I felt that it was a bit redundant to ask such a question.

"I shouldn't have come," he said, immediately lost in thought.

"I regret being a soldier for two years, and regretting not being a soldier for a lifetime" is my motivation for joining the army, and I hope it can be applied to him as well.

"I'm different from you, you have ideals and pursuits, and I'm just for a damn compilation" His emotions were obviously a little out of control, and the emotions that had accumulated for many days were hideously torn open the catharsis. "I shouldn't have come, I should have married her, even if we didn't have a system, we went to college, we won't starve to death on the streets, as long as we are with her, what does it matter if life is a little harder" He tugged at his hair. "No, I'm going out, I won't let her leave me, no one can snatch her away from me."

I feel that he has gone mad, being a deserter is not a joke, the national military service law has clear regulations, refusal to serve in the military can be investigated for criminal responsibility if the circumstances are serious, when the deserter is directly shot in wartime, but all this is not a little warning for the crazy general Meng Feng, what he is thinking about now is to meet his girlfriend.

"Meng Feng, calm down, you can't escape like this, you don't even have an ID card, you can't go to the train station or bus station, Luhe City is thousands of kilometers away from here, how do you want to go back? I understand your current mood, we can find a way together, go to the squad leader and platoon leader for help, they will definitely have a way" My hard advice didn't help him at all, he kept looking at his watch, and his emotions became more and more excited.

"It's useless, they're going to lock me up as a deserter, so we'll never have a chance to be together, I'm begging you, fellow, help, let me go to see her, only you can help me here, in order to be able to get out, I tried everything I can, otherwise do you think I'll be so desperate to show myself with those two stupid twins, I'm just a fucking mix, I never thought about being a special soldier in the past, honor, Medals are all bullshit to me, I just want to be discharged from the army plainly and go home to pick up the old man's class. But for her, I don't even want my fucking life, and I rush desperately with you crazy people, and fall to death、、、、、 "I don't know what to say, I know very well what he has paid, if it weren't for the support of firm faith, a rich kid like him would definitely not be able to hold on to now."

"Lao Wan, listen to me, in five minutes is the time for the sentry to change the guard, this is my only chance, the cadres in the company think we are conducting additional training, the people in the squad must know that you are with me, you help me drag for half an hour, as long as half an hour, I can run to the railway crossing opposite the camp, leave Spring City as soon as possible through the truck, and then change cars in the middle, they won't catch me, you can rest assured, I treat you as a brother, I told you everything I should say, you must not let me down" I finally understood his painstaking efforts, and even I was calculated by him, and I was supposed to persuade him, but now I want to become his accomplice, but what should I do? Let him go, not only will he be treated as a deserter, but I will also be jointly and severally liable. If he doesn't let him go, maybe as he said, he won't be happy in this life. People are like this, they are most likely to lose their minds in the face of feelings, knowing that letting him go is equivalent to pushing him into the fire pit, but I don't have the courage to live up to his trust in me.

Meng Feng took advantage of my hesitation, ran along the low wall behind the drying field, broke the outcropping bricks with both hands, kicked the wall with his right foot, and his body flew up in the air, as strong as an ape, he squatted on the wall and looked back at me, his eyes were full of gratitude but mixed with endless confusion, not far away the handover of the sentry changing of the guard sounded, he no longer hesitated, and jumped off the wall with a pop.

Watching him disappear from my eyes, I felt the strength of my whole body being sucked away with his departure, and I sat on the ground with a limp of my hand, and the cigarette in my hand had been crushed by me."

A woman who has changed her mind, even if he goes back, what can he do, it is impossible to follow him to the end of the world, the shame of desertion will torment him for the rest of his life. I thought of my ex-girlfriend again, grass, Meng Feng, this idiot, will definitely be dumped again. I no longer hesitated, and immediately jumped up to the wall, and a very strong flashlight beam was immediately thrown from the watchtower.

"What are you doing, stand still" The sentry pressed the alarm on the wall at the same time, and the whistle of the emergency assembly of the troops sounded, and not far away, there was a sound of dogs barking one after another, indicating that the police dog squad had been dispatched.

"Someone has escaped, hurry up and chase after it" I know that Meng Feng can't run, from the moment I jumped onto the wall, this matter has been decided, and I am destined to become the unrighteous person referred to by Qianfu. A large number of people poured out of the recruit company. The first to bear the brunt was my squad leader, who was completely angry when he saw me squatting on the wall, but the whistle in the sentry's mouth did not stop, obviously I was not the only one who escaped, he didn't care about me, and jumped out of the wall directly, followed by the iron tower and all the veterans.

Ten minutes later, Meng Feng was dragged back like a dead dog, his body was covered with mud, and his left foot, which had lost his shoes, had rubbed blood marks on the gravel road, but he didn't feel the slightest pain as if he was dead. He was in complete despair, and when he passed by me, I secretly observed his glasses, his pupils were soaked in the gray of death, and at this time, he became a soulless corpse.

Looking at him at this moment, I fell into a deep confusion, what is love, in addition to pain, there is sweetness?
